    Money From MF Global Feared Gone

    Time for a GRAND JURY for Corzine, Abelow & Steinkampf. Maybe some ambitious REpublicans will pick up the issue. . .

    Futures trading since MF collapse...

    Volume's are down somewhat, but the order book looks roughly the same for markets we trade (ES, CL, ZN). Support & Resistance are still there. I wouldn't necessarily draw an inference that the MF Global THEFT has led to different trading conditions. Stocks are drifting higher on no...

    Devastating after hours trade...SCREWED!!

    oldtime, interesting read. Could you please share some examples (including broker names) where you entered limit orders to BUY/SELL which were then changed (in an unauthorized manner) to other prices? Many here would appreciate you sharing. --CTA

    Devastating after hours trade...SCREWED!!

    Did anybody else notice the OP didn't write whether he was BUYING OR SELLING in his original post. He implied he was buying to cover a short, but didn't explicitly write that. Re-read his original post. I wonder if he entered a SELL LIMIT at 76, instead of a BUY LIMIT at 76. Hence, an...

    WHERE IS THE MONEY AT MF Global

    That b*tch Edith O'Brien better start talking. I read today that she 'disputes' Jon Corzine's version of events, which he gave UNDER OATH before Congress. b*tch better start talking if she wants to avoid the perp walk. Corzine can afford better lawyers than her. TALK, EDITH! TALK!

    When the boomers lose their pensions. That's when it will get violent.

    I don't think we'll ever have a second revolution. Just my personal opinion. But I do know the following factually: (1) There are 90 guns in America for every 100 citizens and (2) In times of great distress or chaos, many of us will rally around the document we hold dear - the US...

    Where does CL go after Iran attack - where does Economy go?

    That couldn't be less true. The war drums with Iran have EVERYTHING to do with Israel. Israel thinks it's special and doesn't have to live under the M.A.D. that our parents (here in USA) lived under, with regard to soviet union. Iran feels threatened by US and Israel armies and wants to...

    Where does CL go after Iran attack - where does Economy go?

    LOL, better turn down the volume on your FOX News & MSNBC. Yet another American who cannot think for himself, and resorts to ad hominem attacks when his prejudices are threatened. If you're so anti-Iran, why don't you volunteer for the Israeli army? Better yet, get your kids to sign up...

    Where does CL go after Iran attack - where does Economy go?

    WTI could possibly climb to $145-$148 resistance area, with a pullback accompanying news of SPR releases, increased Saudi output and other measures to mitigate the loss of 1/5th the world's seaborne crude oil. Pardon my saying this but Israel has become a real instigator in the region and is...

    When the boomers lose their pensions. That's when it will get violent.

    State pension benefits will decrease over time for younger workers. In other words, our parents, if you will, should continue to receive their benefits normally. . . But a younger worker, say a 35-year old teacher, will likely see lower projected benefits as she approaches retirement at age...

    When the boomers lose their pensions. That's when it will get violent.

    Rather silly proposition, morganist. Why would pensioners lose *their* pensions? Some have been privately negotiated between the worker and company, while some are between the worker and State. Then there's social security where younger citizens, like me, will probably not receive...

    Gun sales at record levels

    Buy Guns & Ammo, my friends. There are 90 guns in America for every 100 people. I'd like to see this deficiency corrected in the early part of 2012. BUY BUY BUY!!!! The second Amendment protects all of our other rights. A man without a gun is a subject; a man with a gun is a...

    Biden: Obama Administration Asked Jon Corzine for Advice on Economy

    I"m a huge fan of Dr. Ron Paul. The democrats are clueless on how to fix things. The best thing that could happen to this country is the CONSOLIDATION of all third parties into one: The Third Party. It would siphon off libertarians from both D and R, as well as some social...

    CTA Prop Trading Record - Notional?

    You'll pay approximately $1,000 for your first year's registration. $900 per annum for NFA dues for CTAs; and $100, I believe, for initial registration. I wish you luck with your startup - it's a great business. Try to keep your drawdowns small. There's no shortage of cowboys who can...

    Can What Happened to MF Happen to IB?

    It could ABSOLUTELY happen if executives at IB decided to move client funds FROM segregated accounts to company accounts, just like Jon Corzine did. http://www.businessinsider.com/rehypothecation-is-an-old-story-mf-globals-story-is-a-different-story-of-filched-funds-2011-12...

    InteractiveBrokers "hyper-hypothecates" $14.5b of Customer Funds?

    Go through the Customer Agreement of DORMAN TRADING in Chicago. They do not hypothecate or re-hypothecate customer funds, apparently unlike RCG and RJO Brien. I did not realize RCG hypothecated funds. I've been in the Dorman offices in Chicago. A sleepy but stable...

    HYPER-HYPOTHECATION With weak collateral rules and a level of leverage that would make Archimedes tremble, firms have been piling into re-hypothecation activity with startling abandon. A review of filings reveals a staggering level of activity in what may be the world’s largest ever credit...
